Qatar

Beside the United Arab Emirates, Qatar have also been revamping its educational infrastructure in order to attract quality study abroad organizations. As a regional economic hub beside the UAE, Qatar has been playing an important role in the transformation of the Gulf region. One of the primary reasons is its emphasis on quality education for residents as well as foreign students. Moreover, Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world by GDP per capita, which means its economy is stable and the residents experience a high standard of living. This success story has translated into many foreign universities opening up its campus in Qatar, allowing not only local residents but also facilitating quality educational opportunities for foreign students. In the recent past, Qatar has been steadily growing into an educational hotspot, attracting foreign students and successfully integrating them into their workforce. Institutes such as Qatar University provide full scholarship opportunities as well, which cover tuition and living expenses relevant to foreign study. This also helps offset the rather high living expenses that one might experience in Qatar. The degrees are provided at all levels – undergraduate, masters and PhD and is delivered in the English language. The application period normally open in the year in which one would like to commence their studies and the sessions usually begin in September and February. All of these opportunities render Qatar a very interesting country to pursue higher education for Bangladeshi students.

Qatar also boasts a huge expatriate community, making it a very multicultural country to live in. There is a prominent Bangladeshi community as well, where new Bangladeshi students can get initial assistance in terms of settling down in the country. Not to mention, Qatar’s culture, weather, food, religion and other societal aspects resembles strongly with that of Bangladesh. Therefore, the ‘cultural shocks’ that foreign students normally face in a new country are not that significant. Therefore, considering all these, Qatar is definitely a country to explore and look into for higher education.
